I'm sure it is jealous BS, but a frind of the wife's was horrified that we were going to tow a 6200 pound horse trailer with our new H2. Says it is dangerous and not a good idea. Of course, he didn't elaborate......

But to assuage her fears, tell me why it IS a good idea?
THANKS!

ps - that is 6200 pounds fully loaded. )

Fox, that's not even exceeding the Mfg's suggested maximum trailer weight, which is obviously on the extreme safe side.

Do you have the air suspension? If so, even better.

Ask the horses. All this bickering and nobody asks the horses on how they feel aboot all this.

Ask your wife's friend to elaborate as to why she is "Horrified". If no explanaition can be given, just grin, wink and tell her not to be jealous.

The only downside to pulling that much weight is you might forget you're pulling it and take the next right turn too sharp.
